Layout of hotel is good,whilst there is lots of stairs there is also ramps making it easier to walk around. Four pools were nice. Beach was average but probably wrong time of year. Breakfast good. Plenty of restaurants,basic shopping and massage available 2minute walk from hotel.
A wonderful experience, room and setting magical ,staff attentive ,and breakfast to die for
The Merlin Resort absolutely ticks all the boxes - great room, beautiful gardens, a really strong concern for looking after their environment and the rainforest and even have resident biologist and great wildlife tours. The food is great at both restaurants and the breakfast 5/5 and such a lovely vista overlooking pools and trees and beach. The numerous pools are fantastic. Also so great to be on the beach with no road between you and the beach. And with the village so close down the road there are plenty of places to eat & drink, or buy anything we need or have a massage or get a taxi to take a tour
Stunning gardens, filled with native plants and animals. Lovely beach,, suitable for swimming, fabulous food.
Would recommend this hotel area lot quieter than Phuket but markets accessible good restaurants a short walk hotel restaurant very reasonable no ++
We were thrilled with everything. Short stroll to shops, massages, bars, restaurants, scooter hire. Great location on the beach.
We absolutely loved Khao Lak Merlin. Our Deluxe Pool access room was wonderful. The beach was beautiful, buffet breakfast adequate (perhaps more savoury options). Only thing that could be improved upon would be a coffee machine in the room rather than 2 sachets per day of instant coffee. I also felt that ice should be provided for free rather than paying for it.
We had a great family stay. Thankyou for everything!
The resort itself is well layed out & absolutely beautiful. Food & drinks are also well located through the resort and are of a high standard and well priced. As an overall package, this place really delivers.
So relaxing, amazing, quiet, no hassle for anything, food great , my husband and I have found our new holiday destination
Great hotel and grounds but location wasn't the best with not a lot nearby.
What a fantastic resort! Located right on the beach and minutes walk to an array of restaurants, shops and bars.
The rooms are spacious, clean and overlook the beautiful jungle gardens. The resort is involved in a number of conservation programs which makes staying here an added bonus.
There are a number pools to choose from, meaning there is never an issue with overcrowding.
The buffet breakfast is one of the best I have ever seen. The range of choices are just incredible, including the always popular egg station!!
Staff are friendly, professional and always have a smile for you!
We stayed in a Family Superior room and could not recommend this option any higher if travelling with kids.
There is nothing we didn't like about Merlin Khaolak. Highly recommend.
Loved visiting Khao Lak, we went in low season so a lot of restaurants and facilities weren't open but we still enjoyed our time. We could walk from the hotel down the street to 300baht massage places and 1000 baht for a good quality dinner. Tuk tuk ride into town and the markets or just relax at the hotel pools. Great family place!
The merlin khaolak was a beautiful resort it's was clean and the staff were lovely we had a great time and would definitely go back.there wasn't a lot of night life around but we had two small children so that didn't really bother us . My only suggestion would be an indoor games room for young children when it was pouring rain .The food served for breakfast was amazing there was so much to choose from we didn't know where to start and it changed every day there was always something different to try. My family and I had a wonderful relaxing time
Khao lak merlin is a beautiful place, however upon looking back, i think i would certainly recommend this resort to couples, not families. There is little for kids to do at the resort if it is pouring rain. Great for honeymooners or couples who do not need to entertain! Pools could have been kept cleaner. (Especially the kids pool) house keeping was amazing!!!!
